Emergency services worked to free the occupants who were treated at the scene and taken to Tamworth hospital for treatment.

The cause of the crash is being investigated.

Motorists were diverted around the scene for several hours with drivers turned around at the Burgmanns Lane intersection of the highway, and onto the Werris Creek Road through to Quirindi. Northbound motorists were diverted off the highway at Wallabadah.

Investigations continue into both incidents.
